Nahavand Rugs originate from northwest Persia, a region recognised for its dynamic weaving traditions and enduring craftsmanship. Characterised by bold geometric patterns, these carpets often display a central medallion layout that distinguishes them from other weaving areas. The decorative approach found in Nahavand carpets combines large, expressive motifs with structured symmetry, lending each piece a sense of clarity and visual balance well-suited to contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
A hallmark of Nahavand production is the use of high-quality wool and natural dyes, resulting in resilient natural dye wool rugs with rich, lasting colour. Traditional motifs, including adaptations of the Herati floral motif and stylised botanical elements, form part of the regional design vocabulary, expressing both cultural continuity and artistic individuality. The weaving process, known for producing robust area rugs and long, practical Nahavand runners, protects the artistic integrity of each design while ensuring durability for everyday use.
Collectors and designers value Persian Nahavand rugs for their combination of authenticity and practicality. Each vintage Nahavand rug in this collection represents the distinctive weaving sensibility of its origin, making it a compelling choice for those seeking strong visual character rooted in a recognised regional heritage. Whether as a functional accent or a focal point, Nahavand area rugs bring both aesthetic substance and historical significance to UK homes.
